"Conqueror of the five seas of Geralos, owner of the Amethyst Crown, chanter of the awakening of the primordial sea monster, daughter of the sea......" When the group came to the only stone fortress in the center of the island town, a one-eyed man who had become very large in the sea clan stood respectfully at the door, and shouted a series of names of Chrissy until Chrissy walked up, and then performed a very lame-looking upper-class aristocratic etiquette towards Chriss, and said: "Your eternal servant Duke awaits your orders. ”

"Old Duke, you still talk so much nonsense," Chrissy paused, looked at the former subordinate coldly, and said, "Are all the things I need ready?"

Old Duke hurriedly replied: "You came much sooner than expected, I only received the news yesterday, and I haven't had time to prepare the things yet." ”

Chrissy frowned, knowing that the problem was herself, so she didn't say anything and asked directly, "How long will it take to prepare everything?"

"It will take at least two days," said Duke Sr., after a thoughtful thought.

Chrissy muttered dissatisfied, "Two days?"

Old Duke explained: "Everything else is easy to collect, most of them are available here, even if they are not available on the islands in the nearby waters, but the guide you asked for in the upper layer of the trench is a little difficult to find, the best guide in that sea area Andu is not here, he is still in the prison of Britton Island, and it will take some hands and feet to ...... him."

Hearing old Duke mention his difficulties, Chrissy immediately turned to the attendant beside him and asked, "Who is the Templar of Briton Island?"

The squire was quick to respond, "It's Linde." ”

Chrissy commanded, "Let him release Andu and bring him by the fastest boat." As she spoke, she turned to old Duke and said, "I don't care about the fact that you used me to rescue that Andu this time, but I hope that Andu is really capable of being a guide, otherwise you should know what the consequences of cheating me are." ”

Old Duke immediately fell to his knees in fright, not daring to say more.

Chrissy didn't look at him too much, walked directly past him, entered the inside of the fortress, ordered his clergy to be stationed, arranged housing, and regarded herself as the master of this fortress.

Old Duke didn't dare to say anything more about Chrissy's anti-guest-oriented approach, and followed behind, assisting Chrissy to properly arrange all the personnel, looking hard-working.

Neither Leo nor Chrissy had any intention of resting, they went to the library of the fortress, and went through the various materials and information that Duke Sr. had collected over the years related to the Tarankk Trench, and at Chrissy's orders, the Templar guards guarded the door.

"That old Duke doesn't seem to be as loyal as you think. Leo pulled out a fishskin paper scroll from the bookshelf and reminded as he flipped through it.

Leo's words were not said casually, he could clearly feel that Old Duke was extremely respectful on the surface, hiding a power of hatred, obviously the relationship between Chrissy and Old Duke was not a simple up and down relationship.

"I know very well that he and I are enemies, the kind of enemies who can't resolve hatred. Chrissy was not surprised, she didn't raise her head, and said in a calm tone: "He used to be the pirate overlord of the Jerros Yongning Sea, with fifty ships and more than 50,000 direct subordinates, but he clashed with my fleet and was exterminated by me, all the pirates were executed, the ships were destroyed, and he was also gouged out by me, but I left his life behind and let him be stationed here." ”

"Aren't you worried about him rebelling?" asked Leo again.

Chrissy said disdainfully: "I wish he could rebel, and even took the initiative to help him contact those guys who are against me, but this guy always thinks that the opportunity has not come, and there is no action, so he honestly shrinks here." ”

Leo was silent for a moment and said, "You came here on purpose. ”

Chrissy didn't answer, just smiled meaningfully.

Seeing this, Leo didn't ask any more questions, and focused on the information in his hand.

Duke Sr. had been in the Tarankk Trench for a long time, and he had collected all the information related to it, so it could be seen that he regarded the Tarankk Trench as his own territory, and as a lord, he naturally had to know the situation of his own territory well.

Outside the world, the Taranke Trench is associated with words such as death and Jedi, and countless phrases describe this sea area cursed by the god of the sea, where no fish can survive, and so on.

However, the reality is that the Taranke Trench is a treasure trove of untold wealth, and any item found here has the potential to make you rich overnight.

As rumored to be, the Taranke Trench is not suitable for any fish, and even if they do, they are difficult to spot, but such a harsh environment is ideal for shellfish and sea insects.

A large number of seashells are found on the seabed of the reef area, and they only cling to the reef on the bottom of the reef, blending with the reef to resist the surrounding currents and obtain large quantities of food from the surrounding turbulent currents.

Because of the environment, these seashells are stronger, larger, and more delicious than other seashells in the outside world, and the pearls they produce also have some extremely mysterious powers under the influence of the environment, and these powers can be attached to the holder's body by holding them, in short, many of the pearls produced here are natural curiosities.

In addition, more important is the sea worm here, which is very suitable for the growth of sea worms, and the sea worms grown here can be made into a powder, which is a very special aphrodisiac that can help the sea tribe improve its fertility, so the price of this sea worm in the sea tribe is very high.

Although there are sea bugs that are very important to the Sea Clan, the Sea Clan does not control this place, because there seems to be a very unfriendly force here, and any Sea Clan who approaches here will feel the power on their bodies pass quickly, and finally even the power to swim is completely gone, and they can only follow the current, be swept into the maelstrom, and be torn to pieces.

Although the Sea Clan can't control this place, they also have ways to influence it, such as they don't allow any forces to build a direct stronghold here, including the Spirit Clan and the Poseidon Church, and at the same time spread rumors that the Taranke Trench is extremely dangerous, so that others dare not approach, and the people who finally gather here are pirates from various seas who are hunted down, and over time this place has become an outlaw place for pirates in this world.

The people who settle on the reef do not have access to food directly from the Taranke Trench, so they can only catch sea bugs and seashells to trade food with the sea people outside.

The reason why Chrissy was able to arrange Old Duke here was mainly because Chrissy was still a pirate in this world at that time, and her arrangement did not violate the rules of the Sea Clan, and when Chrissy became a clergyman of the Poseidon Church, and then became the artifact holder, and established the Divine Descent Sanctuary, she had already become the de facto controller of the Tarankk Trench through indirect control.

Perhaps due to a blood connection, Chrissy said that the reason why she arranged for Duke Sr. to stay here in the first place was because she had a strange sense that something important seemed to be here.

The reason why Chrissy has not made any exploration of this place is not only because of the obstruction of the Sea Clan, but also because the Tarankk Trench is extremely dangerous, and she is not sure that she will escape from here until she has fully mastered the use and ability of the Sea God's artifact.

According to known exploration data, the Taranke Trench is divided into two layers, the upper and lower layers, separated by the Great Vortex and the Bottomless Trench.

The maelstrom on the surface of the sea is formed by a huge deep hole in the bottom of the sea, and in order to enter the upper layer of the trench, you need to pass through the siphon in the middle of the maelstrom to the deep hole in the bottom of the sea to reach the underground sea, which is the first layer of the trench.

This level alone is enough to discourage the vast majority of people in this world, the huge pulling force of the maelstrom, the pressure brought by the huge current of the deep cave at the bottom of the sea, is enough to destroy the vast majority of intruders, only a few people who have mastered the ability of the deep sea can resist this force and enter the upper trench, which is also the body of the Taranke Trench, a deep-sea trench that cannot explore the edges of both ends.

The trench hides a myriad of dangers, a large number of sea monsters that have perished in ancient times, and various undercurrents that suddenly erupt and disappear. In these dangers, the sea monster can be avoided or killed in various ways, but if it encounters the undercurrent tide, it can only resist hard.

Although the same name is used, the undercurrent tide in the normal sea area and the undercurrent tide in the Taranke Trench are not the same thing at all, and the tearing force generated by the undercurrent tide alone is a hundredfold or a thousand times different.

However, even if the upper trench of Tarankk is so dangerous, there are still many people who will use various means and methods to enter it, because the ancient sea monsters there can sell for a lot of money in the outside world, and this price is not necessarily comparable to the sea shells and sea worms that have been collected for ten years.

Because of this, the profession of trench guide has also emerged here.

The role of the Trench Guide is to lead the mercenary to the location of the most valuable ancient sea monsters in the upper trench, and to avoid some dangerous places in the trench, they will not participate in any battles, and will avoid danger as soon as possible.

But even so, their employment price is very high, and a good guide who can bring harvest to the employee from time to time is usually enough to live in luxury for half a year in a city like Lingdu.

Among these trench guides, Linde, who was mentioned by Duke Sr. and was in a cage, was the best of them all, and according to the intelligence that Leo has now seen, this Linde is not only able to make the employer gain every time he leads the team, but also can safely bring the employer back to the surface.

However, his asking price is also very expensive, usually requiring half of the profit of the employer this time, but even so, the people who want to hire him are still eager to hire him, because hiring someone else is absolutely incomparable in terms of safety and yield.

Chrissy planned to hire Linde only to avoid wasting too much strength when passing through the upper trenches, so that she would have enough strength to find the Blood Helmet in the lower trenches.

The lower trench has not been explored to this day, because all those who entered the lower trench without exception have never surfaced again.

The position of the lower trench is not fixed, and it is usually the edge of the lower trench when you feel a force pulling from below.

The reason why those explorers have entered the lower trench so far and no one survives is mainly because of the downward pulling force that exists in the lower trench, and the pulling force will increase exponentially every time you dive a distance, and the pulling force formed by the sea surface vortex is simply the power of babies and adults compared to it, once you enter the lower trench, the intruder will be constantly pulled down by the pulling force and will never be able to float up.

"Will you be able to survive in the deep sea?" Chrissy asked suddenly.

"Yes. Leo replied simply,

Although Chrissy wondered how Leo could do it, she didn't ask too much and chose to trust Leo's abilities.

In fact, if Chrissy had asked Leo this question before Leo got the complete psionic system, she might have gotten a different answer, and now Leo has obtained complete psionic knowledge like those psionic people in the universe who have been cultivated on the right track, which also makes him master a variety of low-level, but very practical psionic skills, including how to survive and reproduce in various environments in the universe.

With these psionic skills, Leo, who has the strength of a sixth-level psionic ability, is not to mention in the depths of the ocean, and can survive smoothly even in the vacuum universe where the living environment is even harsher.

"When we go down, let's go here first. After reading a guide's diary, Leo pointed to the location described on one of the pages and said to Chrissy.

Chrissy took the diary and flipped through it, and saw that it mentioned that he had seen a huge metal body on a rock wall somewhere in the trench, and that metal body was so large that it would take a long time for even a skilled dive like a trench guide to swim from one end to the other.

At that time, the diary writer and a team of employers were capturing a sea monster of great value, and after seeing this metal body, they were not only impressed by the magnificent appearance of the metal body, but also more curious about what the metal body was, so they wanted to explore it, but their actions were finally stopped by a sane guide.

As a trench guide, he was well aware of the dangers of changing routes and objectives at short notice, and in the end, instead of agreeing to the employers' requests, or even taking them to continue catching the ancient sea monster, he returned to the surface and ended the hire.

It was clear that the trench guide had made the right choice, as there were other trench guides who had also seen the giant metal body, and had also discovered a sea monster called the Stinger Sea Viper around the huge metal body.

This kind of sea monster is extremely territorial, and it lives in groups, once it alarms them, it will be attacked by a group of stinger sea pit trees, it is difficult to survive such an attack, and the value of stinger sea pit is very low, even if you kill them all, it will not be worth the loss.
